I don't know much, but I know that you're an idiot if you don't think gun control laws should be tighter in this country.
It has nothing to do with the recent killings and everything to do with stupidity.
You can own an automatic assault rifle, but you can't get the free health care that you'll need for shooting your own nut sack off.
Sorry America, but this country is fucked.
You're right you don't know much and you don't understand freedom. Heroin is illegal but you can go get some right now if you want. If automatic weapons were illegal(which they pretty much are) a criminal could get one if they wanted to. Therefore making a law against them will only prevent those who follow the law to not being able to defend themselves against criminals who seek them out, it's as simple as that. I don't think you understand how rare a fully automatic weapon is, you have to jump though a bunch of hoops, background checks and pay for fees and licenses to own them. I'm also wondering how this relates to healthcare? Why should a health care provider be required to give anyone something for free? You think the government should make automatic weapons illegal and pay for the population to have healthcare...the same government that's caught day after day involved in corruption and insider trading for their own benefit? The same government that gave 2000 weapons including automatic assault rifles and grenades to Mexican drug cartels in Fast and Furious? No thanks, I'll just take care of myself and if I choose to have a weapon to defend myself or just because I'm into guns that right is guaranteed and is protected under the constitution. I understand where you're coming from but we've already established that criminals can and will get whatever they want from drugs to weapons so how much sense does it make to have a single shot rifle to defend yourself against a criminal that has a semi auto or even an automatic weapon. I'm not some big gun guy, I just understand freedom, and you can't be truly free without the right to protect yourself. Once you start to restrict(which they've already done) its a slippery slope. You think the government actually cares about less violence? The US government are the biggest killers in the world, they've killed millions of innocent people with the continued illegal undeclared wars and drone attacks...this is about control and always was.
Nope. It's not that hard at all. My brother in law went to a gun show in Texas, with some cash, and bought one. It wasn't hard. It was just expensive, and he's just stupid.
This idea of Freedom being related to arming yourself is the biggest load of crap ever.
If you think that owning a gun has anything to do with freedom you have no clue at all.
If you want to be free, you should start thinking about being given basic human rights. Like not having to pay for a baby, or for cancer, or for a baby with cancer.
Take care of yourself? How? If you are a minimal percent of the population that can afford either *good insurance, or to pay for healthcare out of pocket than you're extremely lucky. Get sick, and tell me you want to be free and pay for your health.
What about an innocent bystander caught up in an act of gun violence? Do they deserve to go broke for trying to save their lives?
So do you see how one is related to another now?
If you have a pistol, and the intruder has an automatic weapon, or if he has a pistol and you have one, you're still getting shot - or not- either way. You're still stupid, as are they. And one of you is going to have to pay thousands, maybe millions of dollars not to die. And you're still talking about freedom.
You're obviously mixing up semi automatic with automatic, there's no way he went and bought a fully automatic gun from the gun show. What about an innocent bystander being hit by a car? That argument makes no sense. I have health insurance, I work and I pay for it, when I get sick I hardly ever use, only if its something gnarly, so I don't really get your argument there either? Just because I want something for free I should get it? Freedom is related to owning a firearm because in a free society one should be able to own one to protect themselves if they wish, it is a guaranteed right, free healthcare certainly isn't. I do think the healthcare system is broken, and its because there is too much government involvement in it. Ever since they started getting involved prices for procedures and insurance started skyrocketing. When the healthcare bill was passed who's stocks soared? Healthcare providers and insurance providers....pretty easy to see who benefited from that one.
He bought the same weapon used as standard military issue. Semi, or fully, or not at all. I don't know all that much about guns, and nor do I care to. I know it's a weapon he does not need, has no reason to own, and no possible scenario in his life would necessitate the need for using it.
He's also now serving in the US Army. And would tell you the same thing. Having used a much bigger gun to kill plenty of people.
Let's put guns aside for one second and move onto health care, because this is something you clearly don't grasp. Or perhaps have been fortunate enough not to. Your position is one of privilidge not right. Most people don't have what you do and they need it more than you. You say yourself you choose not to use the health coverage you have unless it's "gnarly". Well there are people out there who even in your situation would go broke trying to live a normal life, because "gnarly" is their every day. I speak here from moderate experience. And if someone gets hit by a car, or a bullet, both deserve to right to be treated for their injuries without any personal cost. My original argument mentioned both childcare and cancer treatment, which are not related to gun violence at all.
The bit I put in bold is the reason I can't argue with you. This mentality is shameful, pathetic and inhuman. You think freedom means a right to carry a weapon, but not to have healthcare. You think a country that gives you this is freedom. You're an idiot.
Government intervention in healthcare is not the problem, insurance and pharmaceutical intervention is.
Perhaps what the government would offer wouldn't be ideal, but you won't care about ideal if it saves your life without costing you your house and life savings. It's not like it would be the only option either. In most developed countries with national healthcare you can also choose to have private, insured coverage.
Interestingly at a fraction of the cost of what you're expected to pay in the US.
But go ahead, buy a gun. Hide it in your sock drawer. Fight for your freedom. Contribute to society and make the world a better place.
You fucking moron.
